We spent this Thanksgiving with friends in Westhampton Beach. Crazy gourmet feast was provided...utterly delicious food w/good folks...and yet it triggered that feeling again...of being so disconnected from all the need in the world...an inner sadness that pops up at holidays when surrounded by the overabundance that is so culturally normal here. It just feels...too much. xmas too of course. ack. of course I love my niece and nephew but to see the AMOUNT of Stuff...that it's not even possible to process/enjoy. Keep in mind that I'm easily overwhelmed though...I have trouble going into big stores...makes me nervous. anyway, I think volunteering is the way to go for me next year. Maybe with the migrant worker community out here..maybe OLA has something..

ANyhoo...Good portion of days spent recently doing my mailing lists for my upcoming GAMELAND show...data updating and making labels and addressing and counting and making notes on and stamping 225 postcard invites to my show. ga. good thing I'm obsessive compulsive. (aside: send me an address if you want a postcard mailed to ya.)Brent came home one day to see I hadn't left the spot he left me in the morning..still sorting and updating....he insisted we go for a walk and it was supErb. Out to the nature trails again...I can't even describe how happy it always makes me...and yet I have to be dragged there from my little cave, you know? *sigh* I just wanted to stop and curl up on the trail and listen to the sounds and breathe the outdoor earth scents forever....

Painting, painting but slow. Islands and cells like shelf fungus....glitter skies. Another resin pour to do today. Loren Eiseley on the brain.

to procrastinate and for breaks I drink in websites as graphs and play Flickr. Flickr tag is my favorite game these days. It's just boundless in there. I see it as this thriving underground community that developed inside a storage tank (where pictures are stored beneath the land of blogs and websites). fascinaaaating.

ok time's up. back to art. xoxo D

These simple things interest me.
LiveJournal General Stats

I would like the general stats of SecondLife.com if anyone can find a link to them.
And for Omidyar.net.
Thanks in advance to any lurking computer elves.:)

Fell upon these papers quite few years ago in research when first cautiously putting my toe into the pool of the internet.
Decided I should try an online diary and began one at opendiary.com. I am now obviously fully immersed and experiencing and contemplating the myriad psychological issues from an inextricable space.

Here is a list of links to all the articles and pages in the hypertext book (web site) The Psychology of Cyberspace. Unless otherwise stated, the author of the article is John Suler, Ph.D. There also is a subject index and search engine for this book.

The Psychology of Cyberspace by John Suler,PhD.

Articles include the following (and more):
*The Final Showdown Between In-Person and Cyberspace Relationships
*The Online Disinhibition Effect
*Psychotherapy in Cyberspace: A 5-Dimension Model of Online and Computer-Mediated Psychotherapy
